IMPROVED CORN CROPS.
Figures Showing That the Use OF Poor
Seed Is a DISASTROUS Policy.


Figures Showing That the Use Of Poor
Seed Is a Disastrous Policy.
1t is well-known fact that the corn
crop of the United States is very i'm
portant one, especially in the corn
States lying in the great Mississippi
valley. The yearly corn crop Of the
six corn-producing States. viz; Indi-
ana. Illinois, Iowa. Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, is over one thousand
millions of bushels. 1t is we'll DEM
onstrated fact that the yearly crop of
this great staple can be increased both
in quantity and quality fully fifty per
cent. without increasing the acreage
or cost of production.
How Is this desired result to be
brought aboutP Certainly not by
chance; certainly not by planting
doubtful, degenerated seed of large,
late varieties; certainly not by plant
ing larger area than can be properly
cultivated. 1t has been demonstrated
time and again that it is poor economy
to plant doubtful, degeneratcd seed be-
cause il is cheap. 1t is also a well
known fact that all large varieties of
corn are tall, and require long and
favorable season to mature. Again,
all large varieties often grow barren
stalks. On the other hand, early and
smaller varieties, especially varieties
of Northern growth, are more prolific,
every stalk producing at least one good
ear. Again, Northern-grown corn is
richer in oil and starch, and will pro-
duce stronger and more vigorous
plants. that are well filled from tip to
butt with grains fully ripcned.
1t is a well-knowu fact that seed Of
Northern origin is best North and
South. Taking seed from North to
South is an Improvement and is always
followed by good results. On the other
hand. importing seed from South to
North is always followed by failure.
1t never pays TO plant poor seed.
Ono bushel Of good seed will properly
plant eight acres. five bushels forty
acres. At 81 per bushel, which looks
high to many farmers, it would cost
% cents per acre; at So per bushel S74
cents per acre; at 81 per bushel it
woul cost so cents per acre. In order
TO seed the same with oats Of the
poorest kind it would cost much more.
1t requires twenty bushels of oats to
properly seed eight acres Of land, and
at 25 cents q bushcl it would cost just
50, and better quality of oats
at 90 ccnts per bushcl would
cost Just $40 TO seed eight
acres, a much more Improbable crop
than corn. 1t is plain to be seen that
good seed corn at So per bushel is
cheaper than oats at 25 cents per
bushel. --Ioica Cor Farm. Field and

THE ARROWS OF DEATH.

all dead" was the answer Mrs. r..
!. Martin, visiting the Ritter House
Hospital one day, counted twenty
corpses laid out for burial. DR.. II.
w. Gaines, who was employed for
some time in Forests command,
states that there were thirteen deaths
in three days at Bethel Female Col
lege. "They died like sheep" was
the graphic expression of lady who
was untiring in her attentions. Two
soldiers from South Kentucky College
called one morning at Mr.. Langley
Bells undertaken shop to buy shrouds
fortwo dead comrades. After giving
the order they left. Returning in a
few minutes, one of them said /:
"Giye me my bundle quick; / am
very sick" They left hastily. One
dropped dead In few moments on
the street, and the other died soon
after reaching the college. There
were two shrouds and four corpses.
Many fell victims to their own i'm
prudence. In desperation, or in the
delirium of fever, they stole from
their dreary hospitals or wandered
from their picket posts, and gather
ed and ate raw vegetables, even green
pumpkins, 10 cool their burning lips,
and perished suddenly. Numbers
were taken TO the country, died and
wei e buried in country grave yards.
A few subordinate officers and a good
many privates who died in the latter
part of November were sent home.
1t. is estimated that nearly half the
Mississippians died, or were sent
home hopeIessly Ill. or five soldiers
whose graves are marked by head

DIR. II. w. Gaines thinks that 200 |
deaths would be a moderate estimate |
Of the mortality in the hospital. In |
the opinion of physicians and under
takers, who have vivid memory of |
Of those dismal scenes, scarcely half |
Of the soldiers, who perished of dis.
ease at ilopkinsyille, are accounted
for. The interinents were made in

General Buokner's Wives.

The first wife of General Bucknor
was Miss Kingsbury, a New England
girl, living at Lyme, Conn. They
were married, says the Hartford
Times, in the old Champion House,
still standing. Old residenters who
attended the ceremony say Lieuten-
ant Buckner was dashing young
fellow, and in his new uniform look
ed every inch a general. just as the
officiating clergyman pronounced the
final words Of the service there was
an alarm of fire, neighbours house
was burning.
The bridegroom threw of his coat
and, with The minister and the guests,
ran TO extinguish the flames. Lieut..
Buckner rendered eilicientservice and
rescued an aged colored servant from
the burning house. Then he returned,
recoated, kissed his bride, and receiv-
cd the congratulations of his friends.
The young officer took his bride to
his Kentucky home, and nearly every
succeeding summer until the break
ing out Of the civil war he came OH
and spent few days at Lyme, bring
ing his wife with him.
When it became evident that
trouble was to ensue between the
two sections of the country, Mrs.
Buckner made over a large amount
of real estate she owned in Chicago TO
her brother, then lieutenant in the
regular army. This course was adj
opted because conflscation was feared
and with the understanding that
Lieutenant Kingsbury held the prop
erty in trust. Lieutenant Kingsbury
was afterward made colonel ofa Con-
necticut regiment, and was mortally
wounded on the field of battle.
With almost his last breath he re-
call his trust, and willed his property,
not to his sister, but TO her husband.
II was,claimed By his mother, however,
and.when the war ended the case was
fought in The courts for years, but f.
nally the nuncuperate will was adj
mitted TO probate.
The cost Of The long suit was very
heavy, aud II is said that General
Buckner paid his leading counsel the
sum Of 100000.

daughter Of Nal John II. Claiborne,
of Richmond, Va, who was an of
ficer IN the Confederate army. Her
